11-year-old Akira Anderson won the National Spelling Bee after four passes. The final word that must win or lose is: Pulchritude

likes Akira portrayed in the movie because she is logical. What makes sense is that this girl has the self-pity, rebellion and pursuit that most 11-year-old children have. Akira takes classes, doesn't like his school, but never gets less than 100 on the spelling test. She is not a genius who is different from ordinary people. Her spelling ability stems from her father's love for spelling. After hearing it, Akira has a set of her own dynamic spelling memory method, 26 English letters, in the Under her fingers, there seemed to be a rhythm like a musical note. And these rhythms, with the help of the teacher, became the notes in the jump, and composed a very warm and unique music belonging to this 11 little girl. At the end of the film, the movie gives the song title of this unique piece of music: LOVE

1. About self-pity, or not being proud
of Akira, because of her excellent grades in the spelling test, she was laughed at by her classmates as a reading nerd. The 11-year-old Akira was confused by the ridicule of her classmates, but she faced the surrounding environment with a pseudo senseless attitude. It was the university professor sitting behind Akira who told Akira how to be honest with him. The professor gave Akira a poem, telling her that she was God's favorite.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear ,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

Our deepest fear is not that we are beyond our power.
Our deepest fear is that our power is limitless.
It is our light that frightens us,
not our darkness.
We all ask ourselves
who I am and how can I be brilliant and talented?
Actually, you have to ask, how can you not be?
You are the Son of God.
Your mediocrity is of no use
to the world.
It 's not wise to back off,
thinking it won't upset people.
We are destined to shine
like children.
We were born to display
the glory of God in us.
It's not owned by just a few;
it's hidden in everyone's heart.
When we let our own light shine,
we unwittingly allow others to do the same.
When we liberate from our own fears,
we naturally liberate others.
---Nelson Mandela


2. The ultimate champion
of the Spelling Bee Championship At the end of the spelling bee, Akira and a boy who should be of Asian blood by his appearance became the joint champion. But beyond the ultimate champion behind the championship trophy, the director clearly gave it to Akira. In the spelling bee, Akira used her unique spelling music to gain the help, support and friendship of the friends around her.

"The friend I met in the second game, this boy, has the calmness and humor of the first, and the wisdom and emotional intelligence of a good relationship, a good, very good little adult. Especially in the part of helping Akira to delay the time, the support among the teenage children, especially when they are still in the state of the opponent, is very valuable.
"Asia borrowed a little boy and participated three times in a row. Before that, he was the second place. This time he finally got his wish. He has always been hostile to Akira, and his image is somewhat negative. Until the final game, Akira deliberately answered the wrong question in order to give the little boy's father a dream. However, the little boy showed the excellent qualities of a successful person, gave up the opportunity, stood on the same starting line with Akira again, and finally won the championship with strength. Friendship is also lifted at the moment when the trophy is lifted together.
》Neighbors around you, domestic gangsters, Hong Kong bewitched boys. The workers in the small shop, the morning exercisers on the roadside, all kindly gave Akira the help and friendship they could give.

Spelling Little Mibee, after reading the introduction, said that it is a spelling bee that the American media is very concerned about. It's comforting to watch an 11-year-old succeed after all his hard work. Even if the movie could be better. Anyway, it's a good movie worth watching.
